Description

What if the path to better leadership and more meaningful connection wasn’t in doing more, but in doing differently? In this episode, Ben explores the power of presence and the courage it takes to sit with discomfort rather than rush to fix it. Drawing on Buddhist principles and the work of performance psychologist Dr. Ceri Evans, he shares how finding the “middle way” between effort and ease can reshape how we lead, work, and live. Learn about redhead vs. bluehead thinking, the superpower of pausing, and practical tools from LeanMind to build resilience when the heat is on.Whether you're navigating tricky conversations, feeling undermined, or just trying to stay calm when your kids are pushing your buttons — this one’s for you.
